Whate'er my God ordains is right

Attended the funeral today of a godly woman who suffered colon cancer for several years.  She is now at rest, free from pain and suffering! 

We sang a hymn that was a comfort to her in her most severe moments of pain. 

Only a true child of God – saved by grace – can sing these words with conviction and joy, as she did.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:

Holy his will abideth;

I will be still whate’er he doth,

And follow where he guideth:

He is my God; though dark my road,

He holds me that I cannot fall:

Wherefore to him I leave it all.

Whate’er my God ordains is right;

He never will deceive me;

He leads me by the proper path;

I know he will not leave me:

I take, content, What he hath sent;

His hand can turn my griefs away,

And patiently I wait his day.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:

Though now this cup in drinking,

May bitter seem to my faint heart,

I take it, all unshrinking;

My God is true; Each morn anew

Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,

And pain and sorrow shall depart.

Whate’er my God ordains is right;

Here shall my stand be taken;

Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,

Yet am I not forsaken;

My Father’s care is round me there;

He holds me that I cannot fall:

And so to him I leave it all.
